Sermons by Rev. Javier Almendárez-Bautista

As far as White House press secretaries go, I have, for some time now, had a clear favorite. Her name is Claudia Jean Cregg (C.J. Cregg) played by Allison Janney in the TV series, The West Wing. … It’s surprising when viewers find out, a few seasons in, that C.J. as done something she feels deeply ashamed of. (Matthew 18:21-35)

If you ever walk around the old city in Jerusalem, you’ll find a lot of commemorative plaques all over the place. Now it is primarily a Jewish and Muslim city, but you’ll still find markers of various Christian sites and points of pilgrimage, places that people have visited again and again to remember and walk in the footsteps of Jesus…. (Matthew 15: 10-28)

Just prior to our Gospel today, we meet Jesus speaking to the twelve disciples for the first time, newly commissioned to do the work that he has given them to do. They are to go to the lost sheep of Israel and preach the good news…. Matthew 10:40-42

The Rev. Javier Almendárez Bautista reflects on Trinity Sunday: “The story is difficult to believe sometimes. I don’t mean because of how the math plays out, the three in one. It’s difficult to believe because we don’t often have the clearest sense of God’s presence in our day-to-day lives, God’s presence with and among us.”

Thank you for agreeing to publicize Lobster Fest on Nextdoor. Here are a few things we’re asking:

Please post this as an Event.

Under “Choose Neighbors,” select Yours and Nearby

For Category, choose Festival. Title is “Lobster Fest Cary“.

Cut and paste this description, please:

Lobster Fest Cary brings the fresh taste of Maine lobster right here to Wake County! The lobsters are pulled out of the water, packed in a cooler truck in Maine and driven overnight to Cary. Dine-In and enjoy a social event or Take Out and make your own event – Live Lobster, Cooked Lobster, Lobster Rolls – you decide! Pre-ordering online (lobsterfestcary.org) is a must, as quantities often run out early in the day, and we hate to disappoint Lobster Lovers.
